Don't get me wrong; gambling is an investment. Just in gambling, you know your odds, you know your profit, and you see results very fast. Investing in everything else needs more time, the risk is unknown, odds are changing daily. 100 $ in the casino can disappear very fast, or can be doubled, tripled in short time, investing in alt coins require time to make double from 100 $. Not just time, you need big money to earn some small amounts. I think people who make with trading real money have some inside information, or at least they know exactly where to look to find it.

I simply love the bitcoin ecosystem. How it works, how it functions with all the things going on, the halving, the pumps, the mining, the new forks...

There are many things, but one thing that shines is the blockchain. It's a genius public ledger that is easy to change if incorrect, and hard to change if correct. All thanks to encryption and hashing. SHA256 is currently uncrackable, boys.
5  Other / Off-topic / Re: Will you accept bitcoin as your salary? on: October 27, 2016, 04:52:15 PM
It all depends on what kind of accommodation are being made by my employer to give me my salary in Bitcoin and whether or not I felt like the market was stable at the time and worth having going for me. Chances are I would accept a portion of my salary in bitcoin, something like 1/5th or 1/6th, but I wouldn't want my entire salary to be in Bitcoin because of the fluctuations that do happen. There might be some weeks where I really need the money, and I don't want that to be one of the weeks the markets dips.
6  Economy / Economics / Re: Do You Think Bitcoin Will Replace Dollar Soon? on: October 27, 2016, 04:50:59 PM
I don't think so; it will surely get huge, but it will never be going to be replaced with the dollar.

If it is by any chance, that will cause a lot of confusion in people.

For example, you're buying something, and the seller says it costs you 1Dollar, that's normal. When bitcoin replaces the dollar and he converts that 1dollar to Bitcoin every hour the price changes? And people will surely have no idea how much it exactly costs in their currency, either the seller has to convert it to the USD too.
7  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin make Banks disappear? on: October 27, 2016, 04:48:26 PM
Well, many people, have cash that they need.  Some people do not even know what Bitcoins.  Anda lot of businesses need the credit or lending from the bank, without bank a lot of businesses would not exist. Sad but true, most of the people in almost every country is still dependent on fiat, and they know what to do with it and how to run it, but bitcoins, they may know this, but still they are more interested in fiat, so they need the bank. This has always been the way. The traditional ways of living are hard to change, people tend to stick to those familiar ways and not be willing to change it unless something beneficial comes along that makes it easy to switch. But bitcoin is not at that stage yet.
8  Economy / Economics / Re: If bitcoin price is $10.000, will fiat be worthless? on: October 27, 2016, 04:46:15 PM
Actually, i can not agree one hundred percent with this statement .  Because it is depends the relative condition. When the price of bitcoin really increase until 10.000 dollars but the most of stores in my country still don't receive bitcoin as payment, bitcoin can not make the fiat worthless. I still need to change my bitcoin in to my own currency to use my money.
9  Economy / Economics / Re: Why have Bitcoin instead of cash? on: October 27, 2016, 04:44:46 PM
No, we should not abolish cash. This seems like a bait and switch. Governments are already trying to abolish cash, mostly cause they and the banks don't know how to do finance. Just keep them away from all of it.

We all feel much safer with technology. Speaking of which, keep them away from that too.
10  Economy / Economics / Re: The future of the paper money on: October 27, 2016, 04:43:41 PM
Paper money is expensive and unnecessary and soon will face oblivion.
But i can't except that bitcoin will be his successor. Banks already have their ideas maybe even "better" for them, with endless supply of total coins ..Maybe even on blockchain.
11  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Be Smart, When Investing Your Bitcoins In Various Sites on: October 27, 2016, 04:17:56 PM
Abide by the rule "if it seems too good to be true, it probably isn't true!" If the sites you are investing in is promising you insane amounts of interest and your investment will ROI in just a few days, that is definitely a Ponzi Scam. However, there have been plenty of sites that offer a little interest on your investments, but they still turn out to be scams. I've been studying HYIPs for quite awhile now. There has been trends with this HYIPs.
1. The promise of quick ROI.
2. Always situated in LONDON/UK. (There is a site where you just pay $10 to get a company certification, so HYIPs abuse this).
3. Bad grammar (most HYIP operators are Russians and Chinese, so expect really bad grammar).
4. They always have the following pages/features:
 a. Investment Calculator.
 b. FAQ page.
 c. Referral Page.
 d. Investment opportunities.
 e. Contact us.
 f. Very promising affiliate program.

In investing online, you have to judge for yourself if the company/entity you are investing in is legit. Scammers are getting better and better at their craft, and investors must spot them before they run with your money. Well, I hope this helps people. Good luck investing guys!

Also, you should not have posted or hinted people that you are selling that account. It will get tagged as the account being sold or that it has a history of encouraging account farming/sale and will get a neutral or negative trust on it. (I hope what you are posting with is not the account for sale).
13  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If you don't pay the fees, you will be BLOCK. on: October 27, 2016, 04:05:30 PM
Other day I was thinking, where goes/stay the unconfirmed transactions? It stay on the blockchain too?

Well, maybe we can stop sending btc for 24 hours, one day per year to unstuck this transactions...

And what happens if we got a flood of 1 satoshi transactions without fee?

Unconfirmed transaction are not stored in the Bitcoin blockchain.
They are temporary held in the memory pool of all Bitcoin nodes in the network.
When a miner "finds" a block and "adds" transactions into that block, they are
removed from the memory pools and written into the blockchain.

After a few days, if a tx does not enter a block, those pending txs will be automatically
dropped from the memory pool and "returned" to the original address. Then the tx will
need to be performed again with an appropriate fee.

All txs that have no fee or a very low fee, are usually ignored by a majority of nodes
in the network. During "spam attacks" most nodes are set to ignore those "attack txs".

Thanks, I was thinking that this transactions will stay there on queue forever...

So if you need to send an amount without priority and put a very small fee, it will be back to your address if not confirmed? Have a exactly "days" to this amount return or is something randon?


Technically, the bitcoins never left your address until they are confirmed within a block.
Your wallet software just reduces your amount of bitcoins for appearances and convenience.
So, it never really "returns" to your wallet, since it never left, since it only leaves when you get
into a block. So when most nodes drop your tx, your wallet makes the hidden btc reappear.

But to answer your question, my understanding is that most nodes drop old pending txs after 3 days.

Also, it is important to remember that if you underpaid a fee and want to redo the tx, you can
perform a doublespend with a higher fee and it will cause the nodes to drop invalidate your old tx.

This is very informative. I currently have a transaction which has been stuck for more than 36 hours. The weird thing is, I used the recommended fees of my wallet to send the coins over. Blockchain.info is saying that it is on medium priority and will confirm within 6 blocks. However, I think there has been more than 6 blocks since I sent it.

I got a few questions, I hope you can answer for me.

1. Can I cancel a pending btc transaction which has been stuck?
2. How do you double spend? Is this possible with every wallet? (I'm currently using bitwallet on ios)

This is really funny as hell! I never thought someone would pay for some shit like this. And here I am, satisfied with online porn. LOL
15  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can bitcoin be blocked too by the government or isp ?? on: October 27, 2016, 11:54:22 AM
I think they can do it as bitcoin transaction, or anything for that matter has some code that would determine that it was a bitcoin transaction. However, similar to censorship in other countries, like China, there are ways to bypass such censorship. I think, in the event, Bitcoin does get blocked by the government or an ISP, there would be workarounds to it.
16  Other / Meta / Re: Squirrel everywhere! on: October 23, 2016, 05:22:13 PM
That was a funny virus or error you have there. Haha. Probably, something on your pc is translating emoticons to squirrels. Cute error tho. You might have installed something to do this automatically.
17  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin help poor countries? on: October 23, 2016, 03:27:37 PM
I don't think bitcoin or altcoins will help poor countries some countries not accept not allow it or not know about bitcoin and altcoins the better way is exchange it to their local currency then help them with that cash or give them food, medicine and clothes.
18  Other / Off-topic / Re: What do you hate about Bitcoin ? on: October 23, 2016, 01:47:34 PM
I just hate that sometimes it takes very much time for the transactions to confirm.
If this problem would have been solved, then it would have been very good to me.
19  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: NEver keep all your coins on an exchange on: October 23, 2016, 01:46:31 PM
Yes i would rather say not keep even any substancial amount of coins in any of the exchanges.If you are not trading with them just withdraw then to the wallet and keep just a small amount and deposit again from the wallet there if needed because i things exchanges are not safe place now for keeping the coins there,we saw MTgox then bitfinex hacked so dont trust them now,
20  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How do I grow my btc? on: October 21, 2016, 03:42:59 PM
I think signature campaign is may be the  best way for people who are starting their  new journey in bitcoin because it can helps them  a lot to earn bitcoin in a fast way . I also suggest to sell service to other  members like offering your  programming skills or web  designing and get paid on btc.
